Fairfield University
Fairfield. Conn.
REV. LAURENCE C. LANGGUTH. S.J.
Dean
ffiebtcatton
HAT FAIRFIELD is the college it is today, only five years after
its beginning, must be attributed to the labors of the original
devoted group of men who founded it. Foremost among the original edu-
cators, in diligent and strenuous effort, is our present Dean, Rev. Laurence
C. Langguth, S.J.
i
IK
J
We the students, naturally unconcerned with the complexities besetting the government of a small
college, and a newly founded one as well, are inclined to accept the Dean as a high authority and nothing
more. But in the shadow of great secular schools, in the cloudiness of modernistic thought, our Dean, while
attending to the frequent onerous details demanded of an administrator, has found time to assert uncom-
promisingly our college's belief in first principles and in Christianity.
He has exerted himself for the further recognition of our young university among older, established
halls of ivy. While holding fast to the scholastic tradition of education, he has not hesitated to adopt new
ideas, when worthy, to our Fairfield system. At the same time — and this is our reason for accolade — he has
always remained human and close to the students, making it his personal duty to evaluate personally the tal-
ents of each one. In later years, when the history of our college is written, the name of Father Langguth will
take its deserved place, high on the roll of distinctive service.

WHAT WE REMEMBER
In late September of 1948, we wouldn't want to be pressed for
details, the historians remind us that as freshmen we registered,
paid fees, bought our books, and attended the opening Mass of the
Holy Ghost. Cloud-wrapped as we were, we wouldn't recall ex-
actly how we felt or who was who. but there are some details that
remain.
Our Dean, Father Langguth. we do recall, addressed us with
a welcoming speech to Fairfield, emphasizing the need for tradi-
tions in college life and reminding us that we must help in estab-
lishing them. That gave us an introductory sense of responsibility.
And then Father Rector, according to a tradition which we had no
hand in and which, shall we say. we generally approved, pro-
claimed a "Schola Brevis." a term that even those who knew little
Latin seemed to understand.
Let the psychologists tell us why we remember what we do.
but that is another problem than ours. Here is the "what." There
were the first few days of classes made more fascinating than they
were intended to be by a shortage of blackboards and the necessi-
ty of walking to Berchmans for lunch. Some preferred the more
apt adjective, "droll." The time that it took to become familiar
with the unique system of room numbers - - 101 for a first floor
room and 202 for a second - seemed endless for the less mathe-
matically inclined, but this was a minor difficulty soon forgotten in
the maelstrom of assignments.
Outside of classes what happened? The mimeographed Ful-
crum appeared on the table in the first corridor. Sodality meetings
beg. m. and al the end of October we had a Harvesting Dance in
Berchmans. A DcSante trio performed for our young and holy
group — somewhat appositely, we thought while Jerry Mohyde.
)im Linehan, Bob Walsh, and Jack ( ^Connor were responsible Eoi
committee arrangements.
( )ur track team defeated Providence, and a basketball rally in
December, prior to the Pratt game, was what they call a "resound-
ing" success because of the acoustics arrangements in the Berch-
mans auditorium. Thai fifth period rally, by the way seemed
abnormally late in the afternoon for those who were accustomed
108
to disappearances after the third hour, but now with machinations
of the devil called the seventh hour we realize there was nothing
to complain about. A fight song, written by Coach Dunn, became
our "Men in Red and the college s signature on radio and Glee
Club programs. Cheerleaders Bill McGrath, Dave Barry, and Joe
Forte were as hoarse as Citation.
Well, the mid-term exams came and went — as is their wont
— and then we had the consolation of a retreat with Father Hogan
to take razor-and-gun thoughts from our minds. "What doth it
profit a man . . . ?" was a familiar Xaverian quotation we all re-
membered. We weren't gaining the whole world, we insist, when
we danced at the mid-winter carnival to Al Gentile's music shortly
afterwards, thinking without compunction that St. Francis would
not have minded our few hours of pleasant relaxation.
Then there were new cafeteria arrangements, a bazaar for the
building fund, and a new student council constitution that took up
our interests. Rhetoric and its inherent diplomacy were helpful to
the Public Affairs Club when it went to Hartford for the Connecti-
cut Intercollegiate Student Legislature.
Between classes and a cornucopia of work we managed to
take interest in the formation of the Waterbury Club, the first of
such regional seances, the performance of the Microphone Players
in a thing called "The China Cat" Fur-raising' said Variety -
and the Glee Club s appearance at New Haven over WNHC as
well as at St. Andrew's Home . . . wherever that might be. We
had no doubts, however, that they were sensayshunal.
An outsider might think, and you can't blame him. that all we
were interested in was dances and sports. The Knights of Xavier
came up with an April affair with Joey Sal's orchestra, and the
spring prom — a Ronnie Rommel routine — was arranged by John
O'Connor, Bob Walsh. Kendall Murphy, and John Reilly at the
Glorieta Manor. The baseballers tied the score in a game with
Bridgeport, and our track and basketball teams conducted them-
selves like gentlemen as well as sports.
Of course, our primary interests were academic. President
Harold Mullen, Vice-President Joe Kehoe. Treasurer Fred Tar-
taro, and Secretary Charlie Vernale became our elected officers;
Father Wilkie formed a Biology Club, and exams again had a
way of looming at us. Fortified with the reassurance that previous
freshmen had gone through it all, we began our resorting of the
semester's notes, somehow completed the two interrogatory weeks,
and submitted to the sweating-out period known as the "pre-mark
jitters."
-109—
For some there was a summer of vacation, and for others a recapitulatory period spent
by the sound near beautiful Fairfield University, in the foothills of the Berkshires. But for all.
on our return, there was a new Dean, the Reverend William E. FitzGerald. with Father Lang-
guth as his assistant. Father Edmond Walsh, however, was still our Dean of Men. and the rules
of appropriate apparel on the campus were still in effect -- sometimes effected, shall we say
bv Fr. Walsh's strong arm on a weak shoulder. We had. it must be admitted, a sense of the
tradition we were called upon to perpetuate.
The Sophomore year was broken open by a welcome dance in Bcrchmans. with Charles
Black. Harold Mullen. John Dieter, Fred Tartaro, Cass Burke, Conrad Sternchak. Joe Ke-
hoe. and Fernando Frillici as committeemen. A Jack Ross and his band, with freshmen Mark
Lolatte and John Bigley entertaining during the intermission, made things pleasant.
The Fulcrum died and replacing the mimeographed sheet was The Stag, our well-read
local college newspiece. How we were growing! A new basketball coach. Bob Noonan. came
along, a pop rally popped -- with Bernie Beglane conducting — and another basketball sea-
son began.
Would wonders never cease? The Glee Club had a Christmas concert appearance with
the Connecticut Symphony; Rev. Arthur McGratty, author and ex-Marine chaplain with a
Brooklyn accent and stories to go with it ("I've got a million of em"), gave an inspiring re-
treat; and, as usual, the mid-winter carnival dance followed. This was the first of the famous
Ice Carvings affairs that attracted wide publicity, and there was Al Lombardy s music to
dance to.
Our Rector, Father James H. Dolan, went off to Boston at this time to be Vice-Pro-
vincial of New England, and Father FitzGerald took over rectorial duties along with his dean-
ship position. It seemed like Jesuit propaganda when our next big news item featured Father
John C. Ford as the guest speaker on the Knights of Xavier program. He thought that we
— 110—
should be better acquainted with problems about alcoholism, and those who were lucky enough
to attend listened and all of us learned.
Toward the end of the year a number of affairs jumped up: the Radio Club went on the
air with the Passion series called "The Living God"; a Glee Club concert and dance brought
Fairfield together with Albertus Magnus College; and the college politicos went to Hartford
for the CISL. Jack O'Connell chairmaned the Sophomore Prom, with the assistance of John
Kush, Joe McEnany, Charles Black, John Broderick, Conrad Sternchak, Richard Landy, Bob
Steele, Harold Mullen, and Paul McCarthy. This was at the Ritz Ballroom where Mai (Old
Reliable ) Hallett and his boys attended to the musical chores. There was no melody, how-
ever, that we could sing during the final examinations that a brief time before had loomed,
especially during the three-hour Rhetoric stint that we struggled through.
Juniors? That we were when our Acting Rector, Fr. FitzGerald, opened the year with
the traditional Mass of the Holy Ghost, followed by a Reception Day during which the college
clubs dared to entice new members into their roster. The cafeteria was decorated festively, and
a punch-doughnuts-coffee combination eased the conversation. A Junior-Senior Varsity Drag
(whatever that means) was the occasion of a Hugh Golden orchestra appearance in Berch-
mans, while the Radio Club's "Fairfield University Interprets the News" - organized by Mr.
Meaney — began its weekly series over WICC.
White lines had appeared in the parking lot in an effort to bring order out of chaos, and
the town of Fairfield selectmen diplomatically suggested to us that they were not in favor of
renaming North Benson Road by the more euphonious "Indianapolis Speedway."
Gala was the word for our Junior Logic Specimen with the faculty members starring as
Kefauver questioners. There was a general feeling that the kind of people who never win a lot-
tery ticket would thoroughly enjoy this performance which, by the way, ended when the mem-
orable ten-tailed cat - -- formulated by one sadist -- was syllogized. It was only this catastro-
phe that was objected to by admirers, like Fr. MacGillivray, of the Fclidac who offered the
— 111-
cat's point of view: "This was the kind of speculative falderal on
which humanity is forever wasting its time." Cats viewpoints,
however, were shunted when some refreshing soul reminded us
that here, in toto, was but a rehearsal for the Junior Oral at the
end of the year.
In October of that 1950 year Fr. Dolan came back to us as
Rector while our Fr. FitzGerald went on to Boston as Provincial
of the New England Jesuits. Big things happened and they loomed
too. Graduation loomed when the jeweler came to fit us for our
rings, designed by Connie Sternchak. And our Glee Club joined
with St. Joseph's College for a performance, as well as with the
Connecticut Symphony in their second Christmas program. There
were more exams, a retreat with Father Richard Hegarty ( "Play
the man!" and "There are no bargains in this world"), and an-
other mid-winter ice-carnival with Gene Williams' music. Fr.
Lyons arrived, replacing Fr. Saunders in the Dean of Men's job,
and a new stock of fancier neckties went on display in his office.
When we returned for the 1951 semester, we wondered why
the Xavier halls were not as crowded as before, and then we heard
that Mr. James P. ("You're out of uniform, boy! ) Vail had gone
toboganning down his front steps and was convalescing with three
fractured vertebrae at Bridgeport Hospital. Things definitclv were
not the same until the building swayed with the news that the Red
Stags had beaten the Cinderella Team" of Bridgeport in basket-
ball and had won an invitation to the NAIB tourney in Medford.
Signs the like of which had never been seen before appeared in the
cafeteria (now Markovic Hall) and the team was nominated for
honorary membership in the Hall of Fame. Coach Jim Hanrahan
was the man of the hour, and the school closed in order that stu
dents might go to Medford - with the warning, however, that
Boston's South Station was not to be brought back as a souvenir.
Junior Week was memorable. thanks to committeemen Ed
Kcllcy and Joe Cuomo for the Communion Breakfast talk b\
Knights of Columbus director William Mulligan: to Bernie Beg-
lane for the Smoker and boxing show by the Bridgeport Police
Athletic League and a talk by Bun Shurtleff, ex-wrestler and ami
able card; to Jim Long. Connie Sternchak. Joe Wihbey. Will Kelly,
Charlie Vernale. Tom LoRicco. Gerry Ru-so, John Fray, and Bob
Conroy for the Junior Prom at Actor's Colony Inn in Derby.
For our Senior offices we placed Joe McEnany as President,
Joe Cuomo Vice-President. Jim Doheny Secretary, and Bob Wak
- 112—
in Treasurer, but before they could act in their capacity as fourth-
year men there were some little things called exams that they and
we had to suffer. "Who's on your oral board?" was a popular
question we had never asked before.
Retreat began our Senior year with Rev. George McCabe
(with his "one-way ticket" and "phfffft"), followed by the solemn
Mass celebrated by Father Dolan. and Freshman Day with its
colorful booths and recruiting club officers. A Harvest Hop opened
the social activities when Hugh Golden's boys played in the corn-
husk-and- pumpkin atmosphere of well-patronized Berchmans. A
group of Juniors joined our Seniors (Ed McPadden, Jim Aspin-
wall, Connie — the Voice — Sternchak, Bob Wakin, and Ralph
Mastrangelo) to form the entertainment committee.
Only a few weeks had passed when our new Rector, Rev.
Joseph D. FitzGerald, succeeded Father Dolan. A magazine drive,
spurred on by music from the Dixieland Club, admonitions from
The Stag, and much leg work by team captains and team members,
resulted in a $1500 profit for our depleted class treasury. And then
"An Evening at the Manor" affair, to raise money for the year-
book — a charitable enterprise — netted a few cents over ten dol-
lars. But The Manor with its firm devotion to Saint Jude didn't
mind. Court jester Joe Forte with a Brink's facial scared the ladies,
while Frank Woods, Jack Walsh, and Bill Miller as serfs in bur-
lap sacks "serfed" refreshments.
The Bridgeport Club dance was remembered for, among other
things, its decorations; but whoever collected that much tinfoil
should, we say, cut down on his smoking. The Metropolitan boys'
card party attempted to replace the now verboten card games once
kibitzed in the cafeteria. And lest we repeat ourselves, the Water-
bury and New Haven and Valley Clubs did things too, and they
are faithfully recorded in another section.
The mid-year's exams went by and we recuperated with the
music of Ted Herbert, with committeemen Bill McGrath and com-
pany doing yeomanlike work. Mr. Simon Harak returned, after a
serious illness, to guide the Glee Club that had been ably batoned
by George Thomas in a difficult substitute role. Sports enthusiasts
honored Joe Kehoe when he scored his thousandth point and the
politicos went to Hartford again, with Jim Aspinwall, John Boyle,
Marshall Bridgewater, Bill Buchtmann, Jim Dinnan, John Fray,
and John Relihan making the trip. The Business Club made head-
— 113—
lines ( i.e. of The Stag ) when its guest speaker Governor John
Lodge made his appearance at a dinner.
The Manor finally appeared too -- although the members of
the staff had their worried moments; Father Leo O Keefe had giv-
en the senior retreat before the Easter vacation: what were really
final exams came and went. That is the fifty-two story as we see
it. And now that we look back upon it all, it was one of the shortest
stones ever told.

Activities
GLEE CLUB
Please, please! Now watch me. And with
these words, sotto rocc. another concert begins.
What the audiences see and hear is somewhat of
a shadow of a Toscanini performance, we admit,
but it is a complimentary shadow. For Mr. Harak
has taken the members through their paces so
sedulously that, though one might suspect a tired
and perfunctory rendition, what frequently results
is a freshness and a bright air.
Rev. John P. Murray, S.J.
The medium of radio has offered an opportunity
to bring music out of the school auditoriums and
concert halls into tclcvisionless homes throughout
the area. And a further range was extended by
last season's recordings that represented a gamut
of programs ranging from Bach to Rodgers. The
quality of the recordings and performance joined
to make it a worthwhile addition to any music
library.
Mr. Simon Harak
142 -
Through the assistance of the Area Clubs on campus,
the choristers have made themselves known to com-
munities throughout the state. And aside from the cul-
tural aspects that might be considered in these hamlets,
they have proved financial successes as well. They have
been seen and heard in Waterbury, New Haven, An-
sonia, Hartford, Middletown, and in Bridgeport's Klein
Memorial.
The high point of the season - - in
previous years at the Waldorf-Astoria
ballroom -- was at the College of New
Rochelle. where Mr. Harak, assisted by
Faculty Moderator Rev. John P. Mur-
ray, offered his best talents. The tireless
work of the rehearsal hall becomes elec-
tric reality when the lads look up as
they hear the familiar words, "Please,
please! Now watch me." And the con-
cert has begun.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS CLUB
( .ill u >i club, but this organization goes in for
more meaty fare than fraternization. Despite the
informal tone of its weekly gatherings, under the
direction of Rev. Gabriel Ryan, the intricate prob-
lems about labor, politics, family life, and foreign
affairs are discussed with zest as well as a dash of
relish.
Enlightening and informative were the talks of
invited speakers like our own Father Sarjeant.
former rector of Baghdad College, speaking on
the Zionist movement in Palestine, as well as Rev.
John Knott, the director of the Cana movement
in the Hartford diocese, who was concerned with
particular influences affecting the family of today.
The family? This group worries about it. It has set up noth-
ing less than a commission to study and report on the economics
and sociology of the family, to make surveys, and it has gone to
Boston to participate in a workshop on current family problems
at the annual NFCCS convention.
Rev. Gabriel G. Ryan, S.J.
Representing Fairfield at the spring convention of the New
England Catholic Student Peace Federation at the College of
Our Lady of the Elms was the president John Relihan who was
also the secretary of the Peace Federation for the current year.
The mock sessions of the Connecticut Intercollegiate Stu-
dent Legislature, however, are the climax of the year's activities.
This year the Fairfield men, conscious of the reputation made
by previous groups, made their presence felt by the introduction
of three bills on labor. This year's undergraduates were not
unaware of their being tomorrow's legislators.

The "same old story' about the publishing of a year-
book? You won't get it here. Of course there were the
usual long hours, editors' meetings, schedules for photo-
graphs, soliciting for advertising, trips here and trips
there, and of course the grasping for a thought, a line, or
even the nebulous word.
The Manor won't please all its readers, but our
efforts were directed toward that goal. Nor is it expected
that this year's book will be awarded any Pulitzer Prize.
On the other hand we don't expect any special award
from Harvard's Lampoon.
The Manor is not to be considered a mirror in which
the individual will see a perfect reflection of his own little
life. Rather we hope that The Manor can be looked upon
as a true and accurate account in words and pictures of
general student life as it was known and lived by the mem-
bers of Fairfield University's Class of 1952.
We do hope that in some picture, some story, or in a
name, every member of the Class of 1952 will find some-
thing that will allow him to say, "This is our story, this is
my story."

SODALITY OF OUR LADY
Every Jesuit college, no matter where it is, has
,1 sodality, and the more active the sodality is. the
more Jesuit is the college. "Sodality." to many peo-
ple, may be a rnalapropism for "solidity, and thev
would not be very wrong. For such readers it might
be necessary to repeat what every Catholic college
student knows, that the sodality exists to honor
Our Lord through Mary. His Mother, especially in
aiding its members to carry over into diurnal liv-
ing the principles learned in the academic cur-
ricula.
Its work7 Well, from the beginning, the sodality
has Sponsored daily recitation of the rosary (.luring
May and October, with the weekly recitation on
every Monday morning under the auspices of Our
Lady's Section. The Catholic Truth Section dis-
tributes reading matter, while the Mission Section
collects coins weekly for the benefit of Jesuit mis-
ionaries in Jamaica and Baghdad,
Last year a series of C'.ina Conferences was ,11
ranged in conjunction with AlbertUS Magnus t "1
lege, a Friday Vigil for Peace" took place in the
chapel of Berchmans Hall, and. as a complement
to the vigil, a May Day Field M.is^ with the
students of the preparatory school participating
was celebrated by Father Rector lor the intention
l 12
of peace through the conversion of Russia. It was
intended that this become an annual custom at
Fairfield until Mary's promise at Fatima may be
realized.
This year, under the continued guidance of Rev.
Edmund Hogan. the sodality's prefect -- Dominic
Autuori - - has extended the work of the group to
include religious instruction of the young people
in the area. In accord with this work as well as with
other efforts of the sodalists' activities, various rep-
resentatives have attended conventions in Hartford
and other New England cities where the problems
pertinent to apostolic efforts have been discussed
under the National Federation of Catholic College
Students.
Assisting Mr. Autuori were Assistant Prefect
Philip Backus. Secretary Charles McCullough, and
Treasurer Edward McPadden.

If you don't know what The Stag is, then you
may consider yourself a charter member of the new-
est student activity. The Hermite Club. You are
absent bi-weekly? Now that is unfortunate, because
that is also the publishing schedule for The STAG.
Under the Red Stag's antlers we find news, fca-
tures, --ports photos, cartoons, and ads bringing us
the Fairfield story. When the first student publica-
tion was distributed about five years ago. it was
Father Langguth s wish at that time, "that it may
quickly and vigorously grow to full newspaper ma-
turity." That Tin-: STAG is on its way. under the
direction of Father Joseph Scanncll. we all knowr.
To some of the members of the Class of 1952 we
i an attribute part of the responsibility for this
growth of The Stag. Among those in this year's
group deserving of such commendation are "Chuck"
Black. Frank Woods. Connie Sternchak. Bob Steele.
Dick McCormick. Fred Tartaro. Bernie Beglane.
Jim Musante. Frank Philbin. Dnm Lonardo. Joe
lacuone, Bob Drongoski, Ed Spcrry and Ray Yus-
kauskas.
Did the Greeks have a word for newspapers'
They had a few words. They said. "To give me
information is thy office." The Stag fills this office
and does so m an exemplary manner.

BELLARMINE DEBATING SOCIETY
Continuing the long and laudable tradition of
oratory fostered in Jesuit schools, the Bellarmine
Debating Society continued not only to improve
their own speaking ability and to develop their
poise on a platform but to win several debates as
well. They had to. With previous years' victories
over Providence, Bridgeport. Iona, and Holy Cross.
the Bell;irmmers had a reputation to defend and
uphold.
That they did, with early season decisions over
Iona. Hofstra. and St. Peter's College in Jersey
City. The climax of each debating season is the
annual prize debate to determine Fairfield's best
debater and outstanding team. Directed by Rev.
John L. Clancy, this Senior-Junior society has for
its officers President John Fray. '52. Joseph Fran-
chi, '53, as Vice President, and Thomas Dcsy. '52.
as Secretary-Treasurer.

Sociabilities
Social tradition in many universities centers about
the sort of mellow activities that bring joyous lumps
no cream, plea into the throats of old grads
given to musing, and. incidentally, the throats of
the undergraduates were not unamused. Though
we may have lacked any neatly packaged social
schedule that swelled our extracurricular life to any
sizeable bulk, still it was never routine.
Memories of our first dance in '48's November
return. The "Pioneers" of *47-'5 1 (What's in a
name?) opened the doors of Berchmans Hall to
our wondering class, and then we were soon danc-
ing quietly among them, storing up in our minds
their example of college social demeanor for future
reference. It was evident that night that we hadn't
acquired the familiarity with our classmates that
they displayed among their group, so it wasn't un-
usual for us to gaze greenly at their relaxed inti-
macy.
Somehow we had a way of learning. In Sopho-
more year, when we entertained the incoming Frosh
with a Welcome Dance, we harvested many of the
available corn-stalks and pumpkins on the Fairfield
hills, bought too much cider, and warmly felt that
we had shown the lads a well-planned welcome.
This was our introduction to the oft-recurring and
clumsy phrase. "Successful socially but woeful fin-
ancially." but we cavalierly dismissed it as an en-
joyable way to incur a class deficit.
Mixed metaphor fans will smile when we say
that though these Fall dances launched Fairfield
socially, it was the Mid-Winter Carnival that pro-
pelled us past the doldrums of January examina-
tions. ( It's the navy and the air force that's on our
minds' ) Even the perpetual bachelors in the class
found energy to take money out of their pockets
lor this tUX-affair. No orchestra sounded so invit-
ing nor table talk so comfortable. Although each
felt that his date was unpardonably overlooked in
the selection, there was indeed something to be said
for the young lady chosen for the one-year reign
aa Queen of the Fairfield Mid-Winter Carnival
Those evenings, somehow, we danced away too
quickly, with the reflective ice stags that watched
us leave b'loming sentinels to some of the happiest
times we've had in college.
The Spring Proms at Gloricta Manor and the
Actor's Colony Inn provided the velvet touch for
second semester. They had an air of spontaneous
"comenjoyment" that their small quarters could not
stifle. Why did we always seem to select the off-
thc-highway places for these affairs? And why was
there always some wanderer of the night who could
be counted on to arrive five minutes before the
dance was over, with "Well, you see, it was like
this"?
Nor was dancing our only fun. There were card
parties in Xavicr Hall when the toothpaste prizes
seemed to be as judiciously appropriate as a case of
Listerine. Then, during the yearly Smoker, there
were boxing bouts, skits that have a habit of revolv-
ing — this time around something called "Operatio
sequitur esse ' — and the ineffectual efforts of three
of the class's strongmen to floor the visiting wrestler.
The Bensonians were always on hand with their
popular barbershop harmonies --a unique quartet
that blamed their limited repertoire on their una-
bashed desire to study!
"The Barber of Palermo" and "Two Italian-
American Barbers in Paris highlighted our operatic
season during Junior and Senior years, when the
seductive wiles of the male Maria and the com-
poser's unexpected shower of bananas into the au-
dience could be considered only as inspired show-
manship. Nor will the "Pasta Fazoola" rendering
by all the cast be soon forgotten. On Pioneer Night
that name again! - during Junior year we roared
at "a shave and a haircut and a bit of Aquinas
$1.25 and the antics of the "Ratio Studiorum So-
ciety." The city of Boston received its accustomed
accolades, the faculty never winced too painfully
at our broad satire, and the waiters served roasl
beef sandwiches that seemed an eternity in the
making.
Those nights when we toasted a classmate's
bride, the philosophical sessions in some boarder's
room, and the excursions following the basketball
team all stand like punctuation marks in the
story of our four years at Fairfield. It is one that
arose out of our own spontaneity, one that will be
retold, but never entirely recaptured, whenever we
meet again.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
What? Reef Road flooded again? There's a hur-
ricane heading our way from Havana. All hands to-
gether, fellows, we will help anyone that needs
help!
This is the sort of spirit that formed the college
chapter of the ARC. an arc built by Christian chari-
ty and American generosity. Severe storms, indus-
trial accidents, enemy attack in the event of war
these are the freaks of nature and of man that con-
corn the local disaster unit.
With Mr. James Vail as faculty director, the
college group of the Red Cross has been active in
clenching their fists and letting the white-gowned
nurses puncture their arms for the valuable blood
that can be rechanneled into the veins of wounded
men in Korea and American hospitals.

RADIO CLUB
The good-memory boys may recall how the men
behind the mike began in their freshman year a
venture affectionately called "the private-eye peri-
od." with its two radio presentations of such guar-
anteed hair-raisers as "The Case of the China Cat"
and "The Thirty-Minute Alibi." But the guarantee
has now elapsed, and Richard Diamond is no long-
er jealous.
Putting aside the eerie sound effects, the mikc-
men looked seriously thoughtful as they partici-
pated m an entirely different sort of program, "Fair-
field University Interprets the News." and for many
Monday evenings from 8-8:15 they listened to Mr.
John Meaney. their director, introduce the faculty
speaker of the evening. They took turns, as it were.
in commenting on and asking questions about what
they thought the people should know.
This year the news interpretation feature con-
tinued to serve the public with its up-to-the-minute
commentary on current problems on Sunday eve-
ning from 7:30-7:45. What was discussed? Moral
myopia in college education, labor and management
as partners in production, foreign policy for Ameri-
ca, God and man in universities. Literature and
Science. Church and State and the appointment of
an ambassador to the Vatican, alcoholism, and uni-
versal military training — these were some of the
topics.
Nor were the radioers idle in their meetings when
they considered techniques of sports broadcasting,
ad lib carryings-on, abilities for directing, staff an-
nouncers qualifications, remote radio broadcasts,
and radio reading. No one knows what lozenges
they prefer.

AMATEUR RADIO SOCIETY
"CQ. CQ, CQ. This is W1THX. Fairfield Uni-
versity in Connecticut, U.S.A.'' These words go
out over the ether to all points of the world as mem-
bers of the Fairfield University Amateur Radio
Society operate their "ham'' station on the cam-
pus.
Organized in December of 1950 through the im-
petus of Nicholas Rosa, '52, and its first moderator,
Mr. John A. Dillon of the Physics department, the
society strives to train operators for its 75-watt
transmitter and foster an interest in the echnology
of radio. Lectures and experiments in electronics
aid in imparting a knowledge of the mysteries of
the vacuum tube on the "radio bugs in the
school.
During the 1951-52 season, under the guidance
of its new moderator, Rev. William Guindon, a
new 150-watt transmitter was set up high in the
tower of McAuliffe Hall and many members re-
ceived operators' licenses. Not content with mere
radio construction and operation, these enthusiasts
also conducted joint experiments with the biology
department involving the effects of microwaves on
growing tissue. Thus in varied ways the Amateur
Radio Society has cultivated an interest in radio
and electronics.

DIXIELAND
CLUB
While some Fairfielders discuss methods for the
defense of the German Rhineland, and others de-
bate about the cost of betel nuts in Thailand, still
others listen to the music of. you guessed it. Dixie-
land.
A liking for that music which can be truly called
America's own brought this group together. Meet-
ings, or more precisely, sessions, are held in a base-
ment room in Xavier Hall. The club is called upon
to provide the "jump off" for many school func-
tions. Ticket sales for dances, sports events, and
other activities get "dixieland music" for their
launchings and promotion schemes.
Although the bell for first period means that
Physics formulae and the chemist's atomic weights

to get Wang Wang Blues. That Da Da Strain.

left-overs from the New Deal alphabet or are they
clarifying statements from a government bulletin,
issued to clarify another bulletin that had to be
clarified? Actually these abbreviations and phrases
are very meaningful to a certain group of Fair-
fielders, for they will be a part of the professional
life of those students who have chosen a career in
teaching.
The Education Club of Fairfield University was
organized "to promote the professional, cultural,
and social interests of its members." A varied pro-
gram has been carried on by these potential targets
of the timeworn "no more pencils, no more books"
rhyme. The club has had field trips, guest speakers
on campus, and a dinner to climax this year's pro-
gram. Visitors to Danbury State Teachers College
and to Teachers College of Connecticut heard panel
discussions on "The Connecticut Education Asso-
ciation and the Future Teacher" and "What a
Superintendent Looks For In a Prospective Teach-
er." Miss Dorthea M. Lennon and Mr. Robbins
Barstow of the Connecticut Education Association
spoke on "The Teacher's Professional Organiza-
tions" when they visited the campus. The year's
activities were concluded with a dinner at the Hitch-
ing Post Inn where the club honored Dr. Henry
Hcrge, a member of the Connecticut State Depart-
ment of Education and also a member of the facul-
ty of the University Graduate School.
The first officers elected by the club were Presi-
dent. Edwin Sperry; Vice President. James Din-
nan; Corresponding Secretary, Brendon Mermann;
Recording Secretary. Richard McCormick; and
Treasurer, Edward Kelley.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
Behind the props of basketball, baseball, track,
cross country, golf, and intramural sports stand the
members of the Athletic Association, ready to do
their bit. like their illustrious A. A. brothers, in guid-
ing and forcing gently their confreres to what is
known as capital V. Organized formally in 1949,
the group has expanded steadily each year, both in
members and in the calibre of services rendered.
Throughout the year, the A. A. has stimulated
student support by means of pep rallies, sport
nights, and dances. But. more modestly, the brunt
of their work concerns the minor details of hosting
visiting teams, judging, timing, and recording
events, sponsoring and officiating at intramural
sports, conducting an annual ping-pong tourna-
ment, and selling tickets and supervising attend-
ance for the home basketball games.
The prop men behind the prop men were Presi-
dent Bernard Beglane. Vice President Robert
Walsh, Secretary John O'Connor. Treasurer John
Welch, with Rev. Thomas F. Lyons as faculty
moderator.

BUSINESS CLUB
One of the more specialized groups of the col-
lege, the Business Club, is to the future account-
ants, salesmen and executives what the Mendel
Club is to future biologists and doctors. It allows
many students of similar practical interests the op-
portunity to meet and discuss, somewhat informal-
ly, topics of interest to all. And more, it aims to
bring together the theoretical business matters
taught in the green-boarded classrooms and the
practical problems of the prosaic office - - as well
as to help the members to become better acquainted
with the employment programs in their specialized
work.
School publications were increased by one when
"The Advisor." an editorial bulletin published by
the Business Club, made its appearance on the cafe-
teria newsstand this year. The "Hearst-while"
journalists of the club are directed by Ronald Hunts
and James Hannan, the Co-Editors, and Daniel
Mullins, the Assistant Editor. The Advisor is "de-
signed for the information and interest of men en-
gaged in the study of business and the practice of
it in the world of commerce."
Meetings at the college and dinner affairs in
Bridgeport comprise the club's functions. The pro-
gram this year included dinner-talks by Mr. Gilbert
L. King, member of the New York Stock Exchange;
Mr. Herman Steinkraus. President of the Bridge-
port Brass Company and Past President of the
Chamber of Commerce; James V. Joy, President of
the West End Bank of Bridgeport; Manuel Rodri-
guez, Purchasing Agent of Remington Rand, In-
corporated; Paul Boynton, Director of Industrial
Relations of Socony-Vacuum Company of New
Jersey; and John Davis Lodge, Governor of the
State of Connecticut.
Under the direction of Mr. Thomas Fitzpatrick
and Mr. James Liebke. faculty moderators, this
year's officers are Chairman John Mester. Vice-
President Daniel Mullins. Treasurer Ronald Hunts.
Recording Secretary Vincent Vogel. Correspond-
ing Secretary John Broderick, and Publicity Direc-
tor Robert McLean.

STUDENT COUNCIL
It was Burke who said. "Good order is the foundation of all good things."
Here at Fairfield the body politic that gives order to our good things is the Stu-
dent Council. The Council (with thanks to one A. Lincoln) gives government of
the students, and for the students.
By coordinating the various student activities and by acting as the liaison
between the student body and the University administration the Council sup-
plies government of the students. A Fairfield bas-
ketball game, a Glee Club concert, a Manor dance,
and a Metropolitan Club hay ride would offer an
entertaining evening, but to have them all taking
place on the same evening would present a difficul-
ty. The alert philosopher will see the difficulty im-
mediately. To cope with such a crowded evening
the Council introduced a Social Calendar that
serves as a clearing house for activities planned by
student organizations.
This year also saw the Council act on a request
from the student body to the administration. If the
Christmas vacation could be started earlier than it
had been planned, then the pay envelopes for holi-
day work would be fuller. Our solons prepared the
request, .submitted it to the University officers, and
then presented their decision to the student body.
The decision was a negative one. with academic
wisdom winning over economic hopefulness.
During the past year in giving us government
for the students the Council acted on a number of
important measures. Fairfield became a member of
the National Federation of Catholic College Stu-
dents when the Council voted to accept the invita-
tion extended to us to join that group. In addition,
the Council continued to assist some student activi-
ties in meeting their financial obligations. With
most of the student organizations not having funds
of their own for their projects, the Council subsi-
dizes club programs. This practice by the Council
brought about a financial crisis for the Council it-
self. This was met by an assessment which was
placed on the entire student body to refill the Coun-
cil's coffers. Social legislation? Socially the Coun-
cil, as it does each year, sponsored the Mid-Winter
Carnival.
The motion that ended this year's activity by the
Student Council concluded a full and successful
year for the Red Stag's wardens. This was made
possible by the efforts of each member of the Coun-
cil, the resulting legislation, and the very capable
assistance and direction of the Councils moderator,
Father Robert MacDonnell.
MENDEL CLUB
Dissatisfied with the drudgery of examining the
research work of others, this group has put on its
bifocals and got down to the more interesting work
of its own — research projects in Physiology, Gene-
tics, and Cytology.
Organized three years ago by Rev. Francis Wil-
kie, its present moderator, the Mendel Club has
continued the work of its past presidents. Ciro
Veneruso and Frank Bepko; and Robert DelVec-
chio. this year's leader, has arranged lectures by
the students on such topics as congestive heart
failure and cerebral palsy. Demonstrations, dis-
cussions, films have all dealt with problems of hered-
ity as well as medical ethics.
Guest lectures enhanced the club s program -
Dr. Miolene on diabetics, and Dr. Pageant on neu-
rological surgery. Let the Mayo Clinic look to its
laurels!

LANGUAGE CLUBS
So you think that the drivers in your town have a monopo-
ly on fender crushing? They even surpass New York's taxi
drivers? Well, friend, evidently you know nothing about the
drivers in Paris. Then again, you may think th.it the Dodgers
have loyal and determined fans, and you may be right when
you consider the "Dodger Sym-phony." But you should know
something about the German ski enthusiast if you want to meet
someone devoted to a sport. If von claim that the wearers ol
the green outdo everyone with their March 17th spectacle, then
you know nothing of Italy's celebration of Eeasl days like St.
[oseph's or St. Ro< 1 1
176—
The Language Clubs presuppose that their mem-
bers have mastered the fundamentals of the lang-
uage in which they are interested, and so they are
concerned with the people and the customs of the
country whose tongue interests them. The drivers
of Paris, German skiers, and Italy's colorful ob-
servance of feast days all tell something, convey
a meaning to the language club members.
Members who have lived in Germany, France, and Italy
— whether as natives in their youth or as tourists (in their old
age?) - - have spoken to these clubs. John Grabon, a native
German, and Philip Bourdeau, a native of France, had their
impressions to give, while Art Sapienza and Jim Farnham spoke
to the Italian and French clubs about their experiences as Holy
Year tourists.
The Italian Club observes Saint Joseph's feast day each
year with a Mass offered for world peace, and has shown
movies of the observance of that day in Italy. Thomas Vitelli
is President, John Vitale Vice President, and George Thomas
is both Treasurer and Secretary.
-177-
"Der Hirsch" is the newspaper published by (you
guessed it) the German Club, with Lawrence
Schacfcr and Emanuel Ondeck as co-editors and
John Grabon and James Langanke as proof read-
ers and rewrite men. Ondeck is also President of
the club, while the other officers arc Jerome Mayer
as Vice President, Lawrence Schaefer Secretary,
and John Howard Treasurer.
Berlitz has some competition in the French Club
which uses records to acquire the precise pronun-
ciation for conversational purposes. Films on French
architecture have been shown, and, shall we add.
both the French and German clubs conduct a letter-
writing project with foreign students. Joseph Bor-
deri presides as ranking officer of the French group,
while Anthony Pagliaro is Vice President. John
Halloran SecretaryTreasurer. and Jasper Jascr Pub-
licity Chairman.
By virtue of these activities the Language Clubs could, and
would, double their membership. You recall, of course Charles
V of Spain, connoisseur of men .is soldiers, who said. You are
worth as many men as you know languages." Need we say
more;

AREA CLUBS
WATERBURY CLUB
New Harbrivalburitan? You haven't heard of it? Well, you
may not have seen it in one place at one time, but the parts that
go to make it up are found right here in the student body. New
Haven. Hartford, Bridgeport, "Valley.'' Waterbury. and "Met-
ropolitan" New York -- there they are, all in a piece.
What does it do? They are social clubs, primarily, of
course, but several of them like to spend whatever money they
make by setting up scholarship funds for the college. Rev. John
Dennis Crowley acts as overseer for the groups and works in-
wards as well. That he has much to be concerned with is unde-
niable. Take New Haven, for example.

The Valley Club too had its Communion Breakfast, a
Thanksgiving social, its third annual Glee Club concert in An-

Gerald Corrigan and Rev. James Noonan of the Ansonian As-

Watcrbury, first of the area clubs, also had its third annual
Glee Club concert, with Harry Bergin as chairman. The annual
Christmas dance, the dinner honoring this year's graduates
and the clambake were also enjoyed by the Brass City boys.
Reversing the role of Mother and Dad in the give-and-take of
college life, the club gave a dinner for their parents in May. and
some of the faculty were guests as well. This year's slate of
officers was: President, Francis Woods; Treasurer. Donald
Brown; Recording Secretary, [ohn Mahaney; and Correspond

in March, a dance in April, organized a basketball league at
the Middle Street Boys' Club (with all games "replayed'' at
Sullivan's), went swimming at the Orcutt Boys' Club, showed
films supplied by the Arctic Sports Shop, and masterfully helped
out with the program for the Glee Club concert at the Klein

A hick trick was found to click when the Metropolitan
Club went on a hay ride. Some of the Metro boys, never lost for
a quip, called the ride "the Long Island R.R. without tracks."

THE BIRD WATCHERS
While others troop off to the smoke-filled rath-
skellers, noisy gymnasiums and the like, this robust
group of avid ornithologists can be found happily
thrashing about the flora and fauna of southern
New England, in their energetic scouting for new
species of our songster friends, the birds. Theirs is
truly a carefree but rewarding pastime.
Our local Audubons are a fairly new group here
at Fairfield. Early in the year, a handful of students,
who long had been fascinated by the habits of the
Winged, decided to organize. The movement was
a tremendous success and soon their ranks swelled
to an impressive number. The warmth with which
this new activity was greeted was another indica-
tion of that strong desire to develop the whole man
With a thirst for their work, the society under-
took a series of field trips. Most of these excursions
had their terminus ad quern at the local sanctuary
- Flanagan s Grove, a favorite meeting place for
brilliantly hued birds of all sorts. Some of the crea-
tures reported there are most curious indeed, sev-
eral of them never having been catalogued. The
Bird-Watchers have extended their operations on
occasion over a wide area. In January, for example,
a sizeable portion of the group journeyed to Uncle
Charley s Health Farm in Waterbury, the mecca
for bird lovers of lower New England.
Early dawn -- Aurora kissing wings and bill -
offers greater opportunities for bird watching, and
if one should happen by Flanagan s Grove in the
wee hours, the chances are one might spy this glow-
ng group with their field glasses raised -- eloquent
testimony of Faithfulness to their motto, "We're
all for the birds."

The closing game of the season against the Uni-
versity of Bridgeport may not be styled what is
popularly known as a stunning upset, but it will
have to suffice until something better comes along
as .1 contest that Fairfielders enjoyed. It came some-
what as a climax to a summary recording of ten
games won against nine games lost.
Lest that last word ring rather forlornly in the
memory, it might be said that there were several
thrills, naturally enough, that marked the 19-game
schedule that opened at Brooklyn late in November
with the Polytechnic Institute of that redoubtable
city. This 95-81 victory was the beginning of the
bashed records of the year, with Bob Markovic's
31 points and 11 foul goals. Joe Kehoe's 13 field
goals the entire team's high mark of 95 points along
with its 23 foul shots. It augured well.
Then the home season opened with an 83-61
score over Willimantic State Teachers, with Jimmie
Homa as top scoring man with 17 points and Stan
Suchenski with 16. Rider College, more accurate at
the free-throw line, followed next with our first
loss, 53-47. But after this setback came one of the
more satisfying scores of the season, a 48-45 over-
time decision over more highly esteemed St. Peter s
College. Lacking eight points with three minutes
remaining, the Fairfield team, enspirited by Bob
Gerwien and Paul Frauenhofer, went on to steal
away the ball to tie the score, and Suchenski along
with Markovic established the margin of superiority
Could we lose a game once in a while? Rider
College had already answered that question, and a
triad of other colleges joined them: St. Francis
(Loretto, Pa.). 74-52; Bridgeport, 85-66; and Iona.
62-52. Clearly we were not yet ready for public
acclaim in any NCAA meet nor any National In-
vitation Tourney.
There was a slight improvement, however, in the
next two contests when Fairfield bettered New
Haven State Teachers in a 61-54 game - Fred
Lane starring and Arnold. 89-66. with Gerwien
as top scorer with 28.
Extra-Connecticut colleges did not regard us
highly. There was Providence who. in the last few
minutes, decided thai they would win, 64-58: Bos-
ton College, unsafe until the final ten minutes
wh.it disaster! smiled weakly. 75-55; and spunky
St. Anselm's took a 7('-77 triple overtime to imp]
us that we could make mistakes.
188
Here, the Greeks would have it, was the peripe-
teia. Something must be done. Would we act? A
little louder, please. Was that a "yes"? And "yes'
it was. for with seven games remaining we won -
no. this is no Merriwell team --a good five. And
somehow, the Red Stags didn't feel outclassed.
For instance, there was the New Britain State
Teachers game that we liked, 51-49; the St. Francis
(Brooklyn) game that we didn't like, 66-49; and a
trio of colleges we vastly admired. But just for a
few seconds, we want to recall that St. Francis
game when Kehoe scored his 1000th point in his
four years -- the first Fairfield basketballer to do
this -- and for his achievement he gained a trophv
and the basketball that did it.
Our three victories --if you are following us -
included two old favorites, New Haven Teachers
with a 65-51 score, and Arnold, by 104-69. And
here the records were definitely bashed when we
had 24 foul shots along with 40 field goals. After
that game we wanted to play La Salle. But Coach
Jim Hanrahan — our Jim — said no, not right now.
Then the team wondered whether they were right
when, for the first time in eight games, they won
over Providence. If you are really interested in the
score, then call the A. A. — they'll know. We didn't
care. All we remember is that Jackie O'Connell had
18. Gerwien 17. Lane 12, and Markovic 11. Why
did this game have to be away?
There was another loss, sure, to the New York
Athletic Club, but the score didn't make too much
difference. We were still thinking of the Providence
game, though we didn't want to subtract any of the
plucky glory from Kehoe and Lane.
Are you ready for a breather? Then, you have
expected that we will conclude with all the jargon,
cliches, and accumulated corn that all sports writers
pop with the traditional final game of the season,
with the Yales and the Harvards, the Blue and the
Grays and such. It was the second encounter of the
season with the ARCHrivals, Bridgeport, envisioned
just as the sportscasters would have it:
—189—
"The great season came to a most pleasant finale
with the indubitable triumph over the Purple
Knights. 88-79. In addition to leveling the season's
skirmishes to a game apiece, the win also gave Fair-
field her first place tie with the wearers of the iron
mask for the Bridgeport Little Three Conference.
Gerwien proved to be a veritable thorn in the
side of Bridgeport as he counted not only for 27
tallies but also paced the club off both bards. Next
in line for individual honors was Kehoe. playing
the final game of his collegiate career. He found
the range for 15 points, one more than Suchcnski.
Lane chipped in for 1 3.
"The Red Stags shooting was the decisive fac-
tor in the win as they collected 34 two-pointers m
74 attempts, while LIB hit for only 29 in 71 tries. A
rough battle, the game saw Fairfield click from the
foul line 20 times in 52 chances, while the Knights
managed to collii t one more than tin- Stags in two
less tries.
Fairfield led throughout the tilt excepl for a tew
minutes m the second quarter, but adept floor guid
.iihc on the p.nt ol Captain Kehoe rallied the team
for the decision.
"In ending a tough campaign with a respectable
record, high individual scoring honors went to Ger-
w-ien with 254 points. Suchenski was next with 242.
and Kehoe followed with 206. Rounding out the
century-mark scorers were Lane with 171. Mar-
kovic with 127, and O'Connell with 104. Markovic.
playing in only 1 1 games, was out of action through
a good part of the season because of a knee injury.
Honors were afforded to individual members of the
team: Suchcnski was named to the area's first team,
while Kehoe, Gerwien. and Lane were named to
the second squad. Thus Fairfield ended its season
with all indications pointing to a strong team lor
the next two years.
This seasons experience, so say the sports
men. Will pay off for the fmsh-soph returnees,
Well, we are no readers of tea-leaves nor Roman
soothsayers, but we will sav undoubtedly that this
was a good team captained by Joe Kehoe, undei .i
capable coach Jim Hanrahan, an enthusiastic mod-
erator of athletics Fr. Lyons, and the ever-willing
to be of-help Fr. Kinsella. The future, we must al-
ways be reminded, will inevitably come.

TRACK
Mr. Perreault
What did that politician say? "Let's take a look
at the record?" Wc will just that to brief ourselves
on Fairfield's harried harriers. The won-and-lost
count may not be impressive, but Coach Perrault
found that his lads, like Housman's, played heart
and soul.
"Steady" Eddie Dowling contributed a n e w
school record in the 440-yard run in the New Haven
meet. Ed's time was 53:7 seconds. Then Jasper
Jaser set another new school record with a discus
toss of 10 feet 4 inches. Along with these were
George Boser, Jim Bacik, and Danny D'Elia's con-
tributions which could be counted on whether the
track and field men were in the won or in the lost
column.

BASEBALL
O
Coach Joe Yabrowsky. for the second year of varsity base-
ball at Fairfield, was willing to better the first season's total of
seven successes against five losses. What gave him encourage-
ment was the previous help of pitchers Norb Fahey and Jack
Doheny along with their very capable receiver, Jim Roach.
Coach Joe Yabrowsky
In fact, his smile grew broader when he saw the
familiar faces of Walt McVety. Bill Smith. Elliott
Pierson. and Jim Doheny in the infield, as well as
two of the pasture boys. Rudy Girandola and Dick
Landy. returning with the others. Newcomer Jack
Murren. a good stick man. completed the outfield.
Reserve strength was made strong by the addi-
tion of Max O'Meara. Harry Marmion. Ben Cio-
la, Sonnie Scrimenti. and big Jack Kulowiec. Also
available were reservists Owen Flynn. Skip Vegli-
ante. and John McLean. With this combination,
the Stags look to a favorable season.

INTRAMURALS
Anyone who went in our out for intramural sports
had fun. whether the sport was touch football, class
bowling, or just plain ping-pong. During the "foot-
ball " season, eight teams competed for top honors
with the lowbrow Filosophers eventually yelling.
"We did it. " Bill Rice, player-coach, with Jack
Doheny. Larry Fagan. Norb Fahey. Jim Grasso.
and John Bigley ran and tossed with distinction.
Those who were there remember the accurate pass-
ing of Doheny that enabled his team to score a 12-6
victory over the Schafters, winners of last year's
league.
Bowling was conducted on a class basis, with a
6-team league with Bill George directing a fifteen-
week schedule. A non-Bostonian team called the
Red Sox with Dave Fortuna. Joe Milewski,
Bernie Beglane. and Bill George - finished two
games ahead of another team called the Dodgers,
with a final record of 32 victories and 13 losses
Individual honors went to Jim Long and Bill Ben-
nett with a 103 mark, while Tom Molanphy had a
high individual game total of 143. And to make
this complete. Bill Bennett, with a 369 total, came
out best in the individual series.
Ping-pong? It was Bob Steele again, winning his
second title in four years. But he had to do it the
hard way against a field of over fifty players and
the finalist Charlie McGould. a freshman, in the
best of seven games.
Rev. Joseph Manning, the intramural moderator,
had as much fun as the lads. It was all in the
game.

That the 1952 MANOR is a reality can be attributed to the many
individuals who have given so lavishly of their time and talents. Space
does not permit an adequate listing of their names nor of their fine con-
tributions. But let it be said here that their accomplishments did not go
unnoticed. They have the thanks of the entire student body.
The editor does feel that among the contributors to this endeavor
certain individuals do deserve special consideration and therefore spe-
cial thanks. They have done everything in their power to make the work
of the editor easier and to produce a better book. Among the students,
those deserving of a special bouquet for their unselfish efforts are Ed
Kelley, Ray Yuskauskas, John Walsh, Connie Sternchak, and Ed Sperry.
On behalf of the entire staff I take this opportunity of expressing
our gratitude to Fred Reynolds of the Rundbaken Engraving Company
for his many long hours of consultation and direction in our behalf; to
Frederick Frankes of The John J. Corbett Press for his general helpful-
ness and patience; to Frank O'Neill of the Chidnoff Studios for his per-
sonal attention to the smallest detail; to Walter Rugg of Fairfield for his
wonderful sketches and helpful suggestions; and finally to Father Mac-
Gillivray for being such an understanding Moderator.

IT MEANS A LOT TO BE
A (OLLEGE MAN
Your college degree is the cornerstone of your
chosen career. It symbolizes the sum total of
advanced learning and discipline plus your own
hard work and ability.
IT MEANS A LOT TO BE
A WELL DRESSED MAN
Clothes don't make the man but first impress-
ions are important. In READ'S Men's Shop and
Men's Furnishings Department, you will find cor-
rectly tailored clothes and haberdashery for all
occasions. Our expert staff is trained to advise
you in making your selection.
IT MEANS A LOT TO PLAN
YOUR EXPENSES EFFICIENTLY
Your READ'S Charge Account or P.B.A., per-
manent budget account, provide an orderly bud-
get-wise way to buy and build your credit.
READ'S P.B.A. is the sensible way to match ex-
penditures to your level of income . . . you buy
what you need, have it to use right away, pay
an agreed-on sum each month and charge more,
as you pay! Inquire about easy-pay P.B.A. at
our Credit Office on the fifth floor.
